Mission Four: Behind the Glass (Continued)

Objective V: Stun and consume a hunter.

Both Alex and the Hunters will make their way into the military base via the glass roof. And then, you're going to have your hands quite full. Thankfully, the game manages to point out a stash of rocket launchers along one of the walls that will be your key to success here. You don't want to go head-to-head with the Hunters at this point in the game with anything but those rocket launchers. Thankfully, if you're not too handy with them and aren't aiming well, or need more ammunition than provided, endless amounts of enemy soldiers will show up to fight the Hunters along with you, and a few of them will have rocket launchers as well. Those launchers are the key to victory for the rest of the mission.

Objective VI: Defeat the Hunters.

The idea here is to kill about five Hunters. Unfortunately, they'll come in waves, and these guys are both fast-moving (as you learned outside when en route to this destination) and ruthlessly aggressive. And for some reason, they're especially interested in killing Alex, even though scores and scores and scores of soldiers will move in and out of this location in an attempt to kill the Hunters as well. That's not to say that the Hunters' ire won't be directed at the soldiers too, because it will be. That is to say, however, that you are priority target number one to these creatures. And this fact necessitates both quick movements and quick actions. You have to keep moving constantly to avoid being heavily damaged by these enemies, and you'll need to acquire rocket launchers and empty their payloads as quickly as you can aim and fire.

As you whittle down the Hunters' ranks, more will show up, so you're always dealing with nearly a half-dozen of these creatures trying to kill you at all times. The enemy soldiers in the area will deal mild damage to the Hunters, so it's really going to be on you and you alone to kill off these guys. You'll have two main options in which to do this. The first option is to lower any given Hunter's health enough that you can absorb the foe. This is a great option, since doing so will allow you to heal yourself, which is likely much needed (keep in mind that you're forced to do this at least once, and you'll gain claw-based abilities thereafter). And of course, simply obliterating the Hunters with rocket after rocket after rocket is another, more cumbersome alternative.

Objective VII: Rupture all of the fuel tanks to destroy the base and kill the hunters.

The soldiers, along with Alex, are completely overwhelmed by the endless waves of Hunters that are showing up at the military base. But Alex could care less about either group he's currently surrounded by, and opts to blow the place sky high in lieu of continuing the fight in a more standard fashion. This is when the game will direct your attention towards six fuel tanks in the warehouse you're currently occupying. Puncture each of those tanks with rockets, and both the soldiers and the Hunters will be slain, allowing you to end this mission. Some tanks seem to take only one rocket, others two, so keep running, aiming, and shooting. Before you know it, this mission will conclude.
